4TH ANNUAL ROCKFORD BOXING CLASSIC | AUGUST 2, 2025
The fourth annual Rockford Boxing Classic (RBC) returned Saturday, August 2, 2025, as the Rockford region’s premier outdoor boxing event and fundraiser for the Rockford Patriots Boxing Club, a division of the Patriots Gateway Community Center (501(c)(3)). Sanctioned by USA Boxing, this year's RBC drew hundreds of attendees, including nine Rockford Boxing Club athletes and some of the Midwest's top amateurs who competed amidst an all-ages boxing festival. All nine Rockford boxers won their bouts at City Market.
With the support of our event partners, the 2025 Rockford Boxing Classic was again a free general admission program and fundraiser for the Rockford Patriots Boxing Club, a nonprofit program of the Patriots Gateway Community Center. Since its inception in 2022, the Rockford Boxing Classic has raised more than $21,000 for the Rockford Boxing Club, helping to provide free and reduced club fees, equipment, national travel opportunities, and after-school programs for Rockford area youth.
